Long Time, No...

So I haven't had much time to write lately, mostly because I haven't had access to the internet since I moved from my host family's apartment. Oh, and I also went on vacation to London.

So while the silence does indicate a certain amount of busy-ness, it mostly just indicates a lack of connectivity.

With that in mind, I wanted to go ahead and jump right into it - but I'll have to post what I wrote immediately following the election first. November 5th was a big day for me, as you can imagine.
